     The boys went to the nearest convenience store while Niall and I took some rest on a bench. We talked about what happened earlier, particularly about my arm and, yeah, my finger. But I didn't tell him the real reason about the scratch. I brushed off the topic on me and opened up a topic about high school. I miss those times with just the three of us.

"Remember Melisa?" I asked - laughing but dropped it as soon as I noticed he didn't find it funny at all. "Oh..." I stammered, but "Still..No sorry to give." then gave him a wide grin.

"I know you won't." He let out a chuckle that ended as soon as it started. I raised my brow and turned to face him in indian sit style.

      Melisa. She's his first girlfriend and first love. They're a thing right back from high school, but sadly just until freshmen year in college - times and age where you think relationship you had would last forever. But Melisa left and moved to Australia with her parents, with no words, no goodbye. What broke Niall's heart most? She just appeared out of nowhere in Twitter and posted a photo of her and her boyfriend. 

"I saw her last month." He smirked but a sound of sadness is visible in his tone.

"And you didn't tell me?" I almost shouted at him and when he's about to say something I cut him off. "You forgot... Okay. Thank you for an honest answer." I dramatically rolled my eyes which made him laugh.

"She's at the meet and greet in our last show at Chicago." He smiled sadly. "She's with her boyfriend and they really look happy. I'm happy that she's happy. She looked like she didn't regret anything at all. I think that's enough. That's my cue to finally..."

"Stop." I sighed finishing his sentence. I didn't know he's still feeling this way after all this time. I hugged him and he buried his face on my shoulder. "I really didn't know you still into her, but why are you telling me this right now?" We let go and I looked at him in the eyes.

"I don't know. But I'll be honest, it feels lighter now." He chuckled and let out a deep breath.

"I still can't believe you forgot telling me." I pouted.

"Oh, you're so cute like that, lil' sis." He pinched my cheeks hard, it would leave a mark.

"I'm not your lil' sis." I sighed and shove his hands away.

"You're not now?" He laughed but it soon ended when someone screamed his name.

"NIALL??" A girl said.

"Oh my gosh. No way." Another girl said with a shaky voice.

"It's him. It's Niall." Another girl screamed and I turned my head around, "With a girl??" She finished like she hadn't seen a girl until now.

"Oops, wrong move." I whispered to myself when I realized I just made eye contact with them, and numbers of girls started to make their way towards us.

"Hi guys!" Niall shouted and I look back at him and he's waving his hand on them.

What is he doing?

"How are you all?" He smiled widely and grabbed my hand. "Let's go!" He shouted in whispers and the next thing I knew is he's already dragging me. I almost stumbled as I wasn't ready to run.

Great Niall!

      We ran until we lost ourselves from the fans before we decided to go back home. I bet they're already home too 'coz the door was open and when we got inside silently, there they are, looking worried with their phones.
